    This one's a tad confusing as I'm not sure if I was fully dreaming it all or if I was half awake.

    I was lying in bed, my mind feeling sluggish, and suddenly became aware of a presence beside me. I turned my head and saw a figure standing beside my bed, though I was unable to move my head to see more than the mid-torso. It was a man dressed in white and I'm sure he was wearing a tie, though I cannot remember the colour.

    I waved my hand at him in a shooing motion. "No, no, go away! Go away!" I cried.

    It was at this point that I suddenly jolted upright and woke up to find my heart was racing and I suddenly craved some form of light in my dark bedroom. I'm reasonably sure I actually said the whole 'go away' part aloud and actually moved my hand too, which is why I wonder if I was half awake for this.

      I am just wondering, when was this in you "sleep cycle" ? And have you experienced anything similar before?

      It might have been a false awakening or just hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucination, which happen when you are on the verge of sleep. I usually would get things like these once, twice a month, about 30 mins after falling asleep then suddenly waking up or in the middle of the night. Most of the time, I see grids of patterns, but I've seen dark figures as well. Luckily, they vanish within seconds of me fully waking up...

      Um, it was around 3:30am I think. It's the first time I've experienced this, kinda freaked me out for a little bit!

      Oh wow, I'm glad I didn't see a dark figure like that. I get creeped out enough as it is just reading about shadow people and stuff! Thanks for the info ^^
